The City is at this time withholding payments of' approXimate-
ly $1,500.00 f'or the'reworking and drilling of tne water well
on the College Street Plant, whicn work was performed by the
Water Well Corporation, f'or a reason that this company was'
not properly incorporated, also on account of" claims f'iled by
vari,ous creditors against the amount owingthls company. At
the time this well was reworked the city was assure'd that
when completed, it would produce not less than 400 gallons"
of' water per minute. Since the supply has decreased to ap-
proxima tely 100 gals per minute, " the Secretary was instructed
to notif'y each creditor, that it would be necessary to spend
a considerably sum of money to increase the production of
this well, and therefore be necessary that we deduct the ex-
pense of this work, from the amount now owing the Water Well
Corporation. After this is completed we will then distributed
the remainder in proportion to amount of the claim of each'
cr edi tor.
Mr. Dawson, representing the La:yne Texas Company, was present
to discuss the condition of both wells and increase'the pro~
duction of our water supply,as.the present supply is not
suf"f'ici,ent to meet our demands. Af'ter a very lengthy discus-
sion, he advised that he felt sure if' the city would allow
him to install a larger pump and motor and lower the Impeller
Shaft to a depth of 150 f'eet, it would increase the produc-
tion to approximately 350 gals.per minute. The cost of this
installation approximately $1,oaq.Oo. He expressed himself
( continued Qn P. 112)

as being confident that this well woulo. produce this amount
of water.
CommissioneI> Allen suggested that before we take any d,.efi-
nit~ action, we get in connnunication with the SouthernFump
and Engine Company, and have them investigate our ;trQuble
and al~o make us a proposal and bid as to'their cost of in-
. creasing our pumping capaci:t,. The Mayor suggested that
.inasmuch a;s this is an emergency that we meet Tuesday or
Wednesday"to take 'final action.
